what is the

Smile Makeover Process?

The smile makeover process always begins with an appointment at Advanced Dentistry of Mount Pleasant. You’ll need to meet with Dr. Candice Vinson to discuss your oral health issues, cosmetic flaws with your smile, and everything else that you may want to be treated with a smile makeover. She will perform a comprehensive oral exam to assess your oral health.
‍
After this, Dr. Vinson will work with you to develop a customized smile makeover plan. This may include cosmetic treatments like veneers and teeth whitening, restorative care like dental implants to replace missing teeth, and even orthodontic treatments like Invisalign to straighten your teeth. Each patient is different.
 
Once you’ve accepted your plan and confirmed your treatment, you may need to pay some initial fees and costs for your treatment. Then, Dr. Vinson will start scheduling your dental care at Advanced Dentistry of Mount Pleasant. You’ll simply need to come in according to your personalized care plan to get the treatments you’ll need for a beautiful smile.
‍
Depending on your needs, this could take only a month or two, or it could take more than a year if you need orthodontic treatments like Invisalign or traditional metal braces. Dr. Vinson will be able to provide you with more details about cost, expected time for treatment, and other information after your appointment, so contact us now to get started.

will my insurance cover

A Smile Makeover?

This really depends on the situation. Insurance usually will not cover any kind of cosmetic dentistry procedure such as veneers, whitening, dental bonding, and other such treatments. 
‍
However, restorative treatments like dental crowns and orthodontic treatments like Invisalign or dental crowns may be at least partially covered by your insurer if they’re necessary to improve and maintain your oral health.
‍
In addition, all dental insurance policies differ, so it’s best to consult directly with your insurance information and your insurer to understand what kind of coverage you may be able to get during the smile makeover process.

Is a smile Makover

Permanent?

For all intents and purposes, the answer is “yes.” Individual treatments like teeth whitening, veneers, or crowns may not last forever, but the smile makeover process is not meant to be reversed, and with proper oral hygiene and dental care, your new smile will look bright and beautiful for years to come.

After you get a smile makeover, it’s very important to continue seeing a dentist like Dr. Candice Vinson every six months for routine oral exams and teeth cleanings. Dr. Vinson will be able to check on the integrity and health of all of your dental work, and ensure that your natural teeth and gums are healthy, too.
‍
Beyond this, make sure to follow Dr. Vinson’s instructions for at-home oral care once you get your smile makeover. Most treatments like veneers and crowns don’t require much special treatment, but some others like dental bridges or partial dentures will require you to make some adjustments to your daily oral care routine.
